Definitions

  • plastic disposable containers are often brought in practice by means of a so-called Rinsvons with the addition of disinfectants in a so-called beverage-resistant state.
  • This beverage-resistant state expresses that the plastic disposable container in question can be filled directly with the liquid food according to the procedure described.
  • the duration of the sterilization treatment depends on the sterilization effect of the sterilization gas used and, of course, also on how intensively and quickly the activation of the sterilization gas is carried out.
  • the cleaning medium which is advantageously a biasing gas, in particular CO 2 .
  • the cleaning medium can be used directly as a biasing gas in the final filling of the liquid food, for example beer, use.
